i stained this box first then engraved my design then shallacked it. so the knotwork is negative space carved below the stain to reveal the true wood color. Hope that helps
I wish I could take credit for that but this poor box was abandoned in a thrift shop so I took it home, sanded it down, stained it up and turned it into a Celt! I agree though, the corners are pretty.
C'mon, Fulstein. You had an opportunity to lie about your achievements & get away with it. Honestly, how could I verify whether or not you'd cut & assembled the box? Next time, lie & add to your reputation as a craftsman, like a proper Deviant.
What woods did you use in making this?
